This post is not created to promote hatred and disparity but to promote creativity and self development.
Gone are the days when polytechnic students are rated as the best in the field of practical but reverse is the case in this generation has polytechnic student no longer participate fully in practical.

The reasons include

(1)LACK OF SELF CONFIDENCE
Although 70% of Nigeria student lacks confidence to compete with their international counterpart after graduation but most polytechnic student feel empty after graduation due to the confidence they lack in themselves . Most of them don't believe in what they can achieve. Whenever they are vying for something with their University counterparts, they started having this feeling of emptiness in them...

(2)INABILITY TO DEVELOP ONESELF
As a matter of fact,most polytechnic in Nigeria lacks teaching facilities such as well unequipped laboratory ,library etc . unlike their University counterpart who consult textbook as recommended by their lecturers , most polytechnic student depend solely on the handout or material given to them by their lecturers therefore they limit them self to this material without developing themselves.

(3)LOW SELF ESTEEM
Some poly student do look down on themselves as if they are not real student.There's this saying that "whichever way you present yourself,that is the way you will be accepted".

(4)DISPARITY:
Due to the disparity between University and polytechnic graduates in the labour market.The morale of some polytechnic student drop whenever they think of this . That's the reason why some of them apply for direct entry after their ND/HND.... With PGD+HND, they are still not in the same level with their BSc counterparts.

(5)UNQUALIFIED ACADEMIC STAFF:
Leave it or take it , most polytechnics lacks qualified teaching staff.It is in polytechnic that you will see HND holder serving as teaching staff in the class room. The number of lecturers with PhD is nothing to write home about.. Most of the staffs don't develop themselves because they can reach the peak of their career(chief lecturer) with ordinary MSc unlike in the University where you will need to Obtain your Phd+many publications and a lot of research work to become a professor....
(6)POOR ACADEMIC CURRICULUM : How on earth can a student be offering 14-15 courses in a semester and the total day for the exam is a week or two.These makes them to read without understanding or to read just to pass their exams and this will affect in the nearest future.

(7)LACK OF RESEARCH
Most polytechnics in Nigeria still uses 19th century method of teaching to teach their student.For example,a mechanical engineering student that uses 1970 model Peugeot for their practical instead of modern cars.How will they be able to handle a modern vehicle after graduation.
Most of these poly students are not exposed to research.

SOLUTIONS
Development: Always develop yourself to be better than your university counterpart
Believe in yourself: Believe it that you can be better than your university counterpart
Proof yourself to people by displaying a marketable skills. Try to acquire skills relevant to your field... For example, as an engineering student, you can learn AutoCad or as a computer science student, you can learn programming...

Above it all, believe in yourself

The saying that ‘when two elephant fight, it is the grass that suffers’ best describes the situation of Nigeria electoral process.

Nigeria politics is a “do or die” affair, with incumbents doing everything to hold onto their power and opponents doing as much as possible to clinch their desired seat.

It is easy to understand why.
Members of the National Assembly become automatic millionaires once they enter the legislative body as they earn millions of Naira from their salary, more millions from their government-issued allowances and possibly billions from brown paper bags and duffel bags containing the occasional b***e.

Same thing goes to other office older from the apex rank in the political chain to the least.

Many people goes into politics in Nigeria solely because of two things, to acquire wealth and to increase their fame and popularity.

Analysts are of the opinion that the major problem with the country’s electoral process is the will to hold on power at all cost regardless of who gets hurt in the process.

The numbers of lives that had been lost in politics is the second to that of terrorism.

Ideally, the election season should be a political celebration of the Nigerian democracy in the manner that Americans describe their election season as ‘a celebration of American democracy’ . But the reality we live with is a political environment unduly charged by the desperation of partisan gladiators.

Some politicians make inciting statements that are capable of tearing the country apart in the name of campaign, while some of them who have lost their shame engage in physical combats. .

The masses are always at the receiving end, as the ruling party and opposition party meet on the election field.

Funny enough, INEC seems to have always jilted the electorate by playing the script of its employer.

Antidotes to this problem

The National Assembly should legislate through a bill empowering the judiciary to appoint members into the board of INEC, people that are non- partisan with unquestionable character.

Secondly, it will be of help if all elected officials should step aside four months or at most three months to the period of the general elections. This will also go a long way in solving the problem of intimidating any Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) from doing a thorough job of conducting a free and fair election.

There is also the need for all political parties to draw up sections/laws to discipline any member who makes careless statements; these sanctions must be enforced to ensure compliance.

Nigerians have a role to play and the responsibility is shouldered on them to determine who wins the elections but this will not happen if they don’t vote for the right candidate. They must shun thuggery and any form of violence, regardless the pressure.
With some of these points put in practice, Nigeria will be a better place for everyone.

Once again Remember,

*******Don't sacrifice your life for any of these politicians... Your life is more than trillions of naira
*******Get your PVC so as to vote for the candidate of your choice...

Lalasticlala do something oh

yarimo:
Wallahi op you are right, infact someone like GEJ is an example. He has no shoes before joining politics but today, after joining politics he has millions of shoes.

That's the problem

Auto prediction is an inbuilt feature installed in phones to make typing easier by predicting and changing to the correct word if your spelling is wrong.

Sometimes, auto prediction features can include words suggestion. This works by suggesting the matching word that follows the last word on your screen. For example,if you type "I love you",the suggestions might include, dear,mummy ,sweetheart e.t.c...Clicking any of these will make the sentence complete.

Although auto prediction feature have its own advantages but the disadvantages cannot be overlook.

I don't realise that my spelling skill has been depreciated until my autocorrect feature stop working...

MERITS

(1)It makes your typing faster.

(2)You can use it to check the spelling you are not sure of...


DEMERITS

#1. It lower your spelling skill: When my auto correct stops working, I find it difficult to spell some complex words myself..Reason is because I depend on auto correct for most of my spelling correction. If you are in doubt ,try to disable your auto correct and see what i'm talking about...To disable it, go to settings >>>language & input>>>>current keyboard>>>disable auto correct.

#2 It makes computer to think for you.
As funny as it sound,its true. Most people depend on auto prediction for most of their their typing.

#3. It can put you into trouble
Most of the funny update you see on most people status online came as a result of auto correction. Can you imagine,somebody wants to comment beautiful pple on his boss status and auto correct change it to Beautiful pig and she updated it without checking the word...When using auto correct,ensure you read what you type before disgracing yourself.


It lowers your IQ
Yes it can.In a situatuation you allow your phone to be thinking for you,what do you expect....

NOTE: If you are the type that's addicted to this feature, kindly disable it to checkmate yourself...

Have you ever sat down and brainstorm the reasons why some billionaire around the world don't subscribe heavily when it comes to fashion?

Have you ever imagine why the founder of facebook always wear the same shirt? If your answer is yes,then find a bottle of chilled soft drink or alchi to chill yourself as we walk down the experience lane.

Most of the successful techie we have around the world always stick to one or two simple wears. Example can be seen in the likes of Steve Job, Bill Gate ,Zuckerberg etc..
Here are some of the answers I got from Quora
According to Daniel Georgiev

There are 2 reasons.

Mark Zuckerberg  like Albert Einstein does not want to spend valuable time choosing clothes.

Mark Zuckerberg really admires Steve Jobs, who was also famous for his only 1 outfit.

If you listen to Mark presentations, he even uses “One last thing” at the end of them.

All that being said, you can actually see him wearing different clothes from time to time:


You can even see Mark in suit:

And most of all he just doesn’t give a shit about what he wears. Making Facebook the biggest tech company is the only important thing.

I’m not sure about “connecting the world”, but he sure wants everyone to use Facebook all the time and this is more important than what to wear


(2)According to Nancy Steinman


Steve Jobs only wore black Issey Miyake turtlenecks and jeans. "both because of its daily convenience (the rationale he claimed) and its ability to convey a signature style." (from the Walter Isaacson biography).

When you think about how many decisions it must take to run a constantly evolving multi-billion dollar corporation, it's understandable not wanting to have to make one more about what to wear in the morning.


(4)
According to Neel Hajare

In one of the first Friday Q&As of Summer 2011 after the interns arrived, one intern asked for the mic and asked something like "Hey Zuck, me and a couple of the other new interns were wondering, do you have more than one shirt?" The whole room (including Mark Zuckerberg) cracked up, but he went on to say that he wears the same clothes every day because he's busy and it makes for one less thing to think about in the morning.

(5)
According to stan


Many people including Mark say that he wears the same type of shirt everyday because he's busy.

I beg to differ. I have come to a conclusion where I can boldly say he's that teen who wanted to be someone and also had one inspiration. To be like your inspiration is one of your dreams.

This is what Mark was doing. He was replicating his inspiration's style.
Steve Jobs wore the same black shirt, if you have noticed.

Hence the reason is blatant here. It has nothing to do with being busy; but everything to do with being a brand.

In Summary , here are the reasons

(1) Inspiration from Steve Job
(2) He's busy and have no time for fashion
(3) It's a brand to distinguish him

To Me I think the battle will be more in Apc governorship primaries...

Yes because they have the highest number of aspirants

internetpo:
Ekiti is the new battle ground. Lets see how INEC will perform

They (INEC )will try to prove their integrity

sammy4life1:
One thing is sure APC can't win Ekiti but if PDP would re,main in power I don't know

One out of the two is going to win the election bro.... Luck as it befell Mimiko under Labour party will be rare this time around

In the next four months, electorates in Ekiti State will be voting for a Governor who will take over the affair of the state for the next four years.

Awareness have been on since last year as it was seen on the posters in most town in Ekiti and on social media.

Many of the aspirants are strategising in order to make their popularity known to their party by taking their campaign to the grassroot.
Example of this was portrayed by Mr Bimbo Daramola who started an initiative of buying 1000 Jamb form for the indigenes of the state .

With observation on the heat of campaign by the political parties in the state , one out of the two major parties in the state(PDP and APC) will produce who'll wear the crown.

Ekiti will be producing the 11th governor in 19years


Here are the reasons

Fayose will like to retain the state under PDP:As we all know that Ekiti state is the only southwestern state that is being govern by pdp. The likes of Fayose, Wike and co will like to retain the mandate for their party. Losing Ekiti state to APC will have impacts on PDP especially in 2018 general election.

APC will like to win the state: Using the case of Lagos State as an example, during Goodluck Jonathan regime, PDP try every possible best to win Lagos State because it was the only state under the opposition since 1999 in the southwest then.
If you think APC will not do anything possible to win the election, then you may be wrong.

It's the most competitive governorship election ever in Ekiti state :I haven't seen a more competitive gubernatorial election like this in Nigeria since 1999. Do you believe that people contesting for APC primary election in the state are more than 25.
In total, more than 60 candidates are vying for the post ..Apart from this, more people will still show interest.

Many of the Aspirants are not first timers in the game: Yes, you heard it right. Most of the aspirants are not first timer.The likes of M.O.B ,Orire has contested in the previous gubernatorial election. Some are political office holder ranging form senators to deputy governor, appointees and so on.

It will draw a lot of international observers: Since the last general election where Goodluck Jonathan conceded defeat against Buhari, International community has been shifting their attention to Nigeria elections. Most of the international organisation will like to come so as know how the election will be.

Remember, this election is like a preparation ground for the next general election...

To make the event a memorable one and a blessing to many, Coca-Cola decided to give away some cars for some lucky winner..... Pray for me that I should be among the lucky winner... I promise all nairalander free data subscription if I emerge the winner for any of these

Arranged in ascending order 1st, 2nd and 3rd

Drone was also in attendance for the show. Oh my, this was my first time of seeing drone live .Dont blame me, all fingers are not equal

And that was Simi performing live

The event was held at the old parade ground in Garki..

Most of the artiste on the picture were live on the stage. If you miss Abuja own, kindly take the next available bus/flight to Lagos because Lagos will be lit with the event....

Simi performed her favorite track "Joromi" and many more performance from the likes of Olumide and comment.

The event was a memorable one which many people will not forget in a jiffy ..

As we all know, the World Cup will be in Nigeria from 8-10 of March and it will be display In Abuja on 8th and Lagos will be on 10th.

I will be updating you on this thread ......
